May I just say that Memphis band Snowglobe[1]'s second full-length, Doing the Distance (Makeshift), out earlier this year, is one of the finest unhyped sleeper-type recordings of 2006 thus far? Hip-hip-hooray for weird, whirling orchestral prog-pop by musicians who obviously listened to far too much AM pop in the '70s.

Where have these guys been all our lives? Why haven't they played here? Why does their My Space page[2] list an SF show on Sept. 3 but no deets? Can I stop punching the question mark key any time soon?
